rap-metal IS just people trying to stick out when all they're doing is fitting in, there are so many rap/metal bands now you can't possibly BE different. Incubus is incredible, I saw them w/ 311 last month and I was blown away. My little brother used to be this cool alternative guy and now he's a hardcore rap addict into gay ass kid rock limp-bizkit, dre, and all that other ****. I can't stand it, when everything was grunge in the early 90's, I was at total peace with the world, but now the fad has changed and I am still alternative and very lonely, I mean I still have a few alternative freinds, but most people I knew who were cool can't stand to be around anymore. Wow that felt good to get off my chest.
